Well ..

Actually I'm not a physicist and regard this subject as a hobby. So I 
wouldn't call me 'scientist' - at least not in a professional sense.

But you don't need to be a physicist to be able to say something about a 
scientific problem.

Here we are discussing a scientific problem, which is 'plate tectonic 
vs. growing Earth'.

Such discussion are not real science, since we don't conduct any 
experiment or measure something.  And certainly I'm not able to travel 
to the Andes and measure the age of fossils.

So you cannot expect anything of this type from me. But observations are 
also possible on e.g.  google.earth or youtube and that is more of the 
type of resources by 'research' is based.

Other sophisticated means are my computers, which are a little old and 
mainly refurbished scrap.

So I do not plan to compete with established institutions in measuring 
tectonic plates.

Certainly some do, but writing here is not physics. It is writing into 
an electronic forum about certain subjects.

You shouldn't think, that I'm unable to calculate. But prior to 
calculation should come a discussion about the content of that 
calculation and what it is supposed to provide.

Since here we had the subject of measurement of the diameter of the 
planet from orbit. And we didn't agree about the method and whether or 
not such a measurement is possible.

This is not really a mathematical problem.
